About Me

Name: Mike Southerland
Location: United States

Born in sin, I was graciously rescued from the grip of hell at age five. Since then I have actively shared the Gospel with as many as the Lord has called me to. The Lord has blessed me with a beautiful wife and seven children so far. This is the congregation He has given me. May I teach them in the manner in which He would be well pleased.

The Valley of the Shadow of Death

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.(Psa 23:4)



This week has been one of the hardest weeks of my life. Yet, I grasp to the promise that God is with me. What hope do people have if they do not trust in Christ? They have no hope.



Trusting in the Sovereignty of God is so easy to speak, yet sometimes it's the most painful thing to walk out.



Experience is a cruel teacher, yet it teaches lessons that are never forgotten. The lessons of empathy are the hardest.



To my little one, I trust that I will see you in perfection some day. I love you forever.



Rest in peace...
